Lab Report Assistant: This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal
laboratory report. It is simply a summary of the experiments questions and data tables
which should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students
writing of lab reports by providing this information in an .rtf format which can be copied
and pasted into an electronic document.

Beers Law &amp; Colorimetry
Part 1: Beer's Law:

1. Prior to analyzing the samples provided by Q you must demonstrate (for yourself
and others) that you, your instruments, and your company will produce reliable
results. One of the ways you decide to do this is by making a Beers law plot using
pure M. You obtain the following data:

70.8

Convert %T to absorbance and prepare a Beers law plot using these data.
2. You are now ready to begin analyzing the drug. You are sent five bottles of the drug
from batch 021015. You analyze these samples and obtain the following data:

Part 3:
The student will use a colorimeter to analyze the concentration of a blue dye for a
quantitative analysis.
IMPORTANT NOTE You will only be completing Exercise 3 if you instructor
selected the colorimeter assembly, pictured below, to be included as a separate
option with your LabPaq. If you do not have the Colorimeter assembly skip this
exercise.
